Alumni Game fills stands


Retrofitted Rockets Dusty McConnell (85)
and Donny Beverly (39) join coach Al
Starnes as they show a bit of concern for
a fallen Caldwell comrade. Turns out
this was just a bad cramp.

The first ever Crittenden County alumni full-contact, tackle football game filled the stands on both sides of Rocket Stadium Saturday night for the Double C Border Bowl. 

Rocket alumni aged 19 to 47 to participated while Caldwell County, the opponent, brought a much younger team. The former Tigers' oldest player was just 26. 

Crittenden won the game 16-0 as local postman Jeremy Poindexter scored two touchdowns at fullback. Final Score: Rockets 16, Tigers 0.

The best part... no one was injured and everyone enjoyed an entertaining event.

For much more about the novel event see next week's printed edition of The Crittenden Press.
